What is Construction Management?


Construction Management is not the skilled trades and crafts. Construction Managers are professionals who coordinate the construction process relying on technical understanding of architectural, engineering, and business related disciples. They are responsible for the management of people, materials, equipment, budgets, schedules, safety, and contracts.

Successful Graduates of NKU's Construction Management program are employed as:
  • Cost Estimators
  • Superintendents
  • Safety Officers
  • Project Managers
  • Schedulers
  • Field Engineers

“At NKU I didn't just learn to be a construction manager, I learned to be a construction leader. The new technologies I learned about, the vast experiences I had and the lessons I learned from my mentors made my career. The great salary, the company car, the ability to work for one of the regions top general contractors - I have NKU to thank for it all!”

Jason Dunaway
“Just as the most elaborately designed project will fail if a solid foundation is not first established, so will a career. NKU's Construction Management program, which is driven by outstanding faculty and staff, provided me a strong foundation that has supported and allowed me to build a prosperous and enduring career."
